The leds of TheOnlyDoc, chouster, BoringlyUnique, MikeC, badhakker, prisma, Mitko, ZFL-M60, Jerommel, cula, maukka and X3 were shipped last wednesday or thursday December 21/22.
I assume that delivery times will suffer from being in the middle of the christmas mail, but I hope that everything will arrive in good order.
I would appreciate it if you report in this thread or via PM when the leds arrive.
Nice Jerommel, I hope the other packages will arrive well too.
Had time to do a quick mod with the 219C SM353 and I like it an awful lot, my new favorite led. Like the 5000K 219C that has been around for a while, it behaves well in reflector lights.
Could not find the right white balance, the light is warm-ish but not this warm.
That looks good clemence, but my (Xperia Z3 compact) phone camera does not let me set a colour temperature for the white balance, just a random choice of 5 standard settings, plus an ‘auto’ setting that sometimes does the right thing but more often not.
Oh wow, that does look nice. I skipped the 353 because I thought it would be too close to the 403 to be worth fooling with, so I went with the 305 instead. Maybe I was wrong. Next time…
I’m still using Xperia V. It’s an ancient phone before the Z era. Often when I don’t have my Olympus EM5 in hand I use camera FV-5 application. Much better control than the sluggish OEM camera application. Sent you the link via Whatsapp
I finally got around to posting up the results of my output tests with the 4000k emitters, they are basically the same as the 83cri test djozz ran before but with a bit lower output naturally. I had the test setup out and figured I might as well see what they can do.
I made up a bunch of S2’s with these LED’s for Christmas gifts and they turned out great, I am also using it in my EDC now as well. With the OP S2 Reflector it is a good beam and tint but with a TIR it is simply stunning. Something about how the TIR mixes the beam just makes things look even better. This is part of why I prefer TIR’s in most lights. If I want flood then I will pull out a mixed tint triple :sunglasses:
